Scott Sweeney, park specialist at Falling Waters State Park, shared his appreciation and love of the slithery creatures and provided the group with useful information concerning the six venomous snakes that live in the area  eastern diamondback, pigmy and canebrake rattlesnakes, copperhead, cottonmouth and coral snakes. Your cute little gardening gloves offer absolutely no protection from snake bite. Never put your hands anywhere you cant see clearly, Sweeney said. Sweeney said snakes dont eat our owers or crops in our gardens; however, they do eat what eats our Eek! A snake!

Garden Club winds down 2012-13 year with serpents By CHRIS OLWELL 747-5079 | @PCNHchriso colwell@pcnh.com LYNN HAVEN  After the most intensive investigation in recent memory, The Bay County Sheriffs Of ce has announced the arrests of three people, including a Washington County man, suspected of tying up, torturing and killing a Lynn Haven nonagenarian. The BCSOs Criminal Investigations Division has not rested since a neighbor found the body of Wallace Scott, 90, in his home on Pinetree Road April 6, Sheriff Frank McKeithen said on April 15. Deputies worked countless hours, traveled hundreds of miles and worked with 22 other law enforcement agencies in Florida, Alabama and Georgia. This was a whodunit, said Capt. Jimmy Stanford, who leads the CID. The investigation led deputies to arrest David Challender of Caryville and James Jeffries and Ashley Grif th, both of Hartford, Ala., on April 14 and charge them each with an open count of murder. Only Grif th has had a bond hearing; she is being held without bond. Challender and Jeffries were held in the Holmes County jail. Investigators also arrested two of Scotts former caretakers, a word they said they were using loosely, the day his body was discovered on suspicion of stealing and using Scotts credit card and checkbook. Sherri Mercer and Deborah Cupp have been charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and principal to fraudulent use of a credit card, respectively. Mercer had endeared herself to Scott, and she was a bene ciary in his will, investigators said. Scott had reported the fraudulent charges to BCSO investigators in March, and he had an appointment with an attorney to remove her from his will on April 8. Scott was killed on April 4. He was beaten into submission and tied up in a bedroom in his house. The suspects allegedly hurt Scott in order to motivate him to tell them PIN numbers to his bank accounts, Stanford said. One of the defendants used the word torture, Stanford said.

Local A2 | Washington County News Saturday, May 4, 2013 terprises of St. Augustine being ranked second and David H. Melvin Inc. of Mari anna ranking third. City Administrator Dan Miner said grants require the city to have a choice of consultants chosen in case there is a conict and a re placement is needed. After the meeting, Miner was to contact the rms and let them know the results. Then what we will do is task them to start looking for funding, Miner said. Task ing and hiring are two differ ent things. He said the city would be spending no money up front in the process. Mr. Bruce has got con nections, Council Mem ber Karen Rustin said. He works with Tom Bryant, and Tom also has contacts in companies that he can bring to the table. She also said Bruce went above and beyond in work ing with the city and the Leg islature to get the line-item appropriation for $400,000. The consultants get paid by taking a percentage of the grant money they acquire for the city, and that percentage is negotiated between the consulting rm and the city. H. Douglas Bruce rst appeared before the coun cil on Feb. 20, when he was asked by Mayor Linda Cain to explain different ways the city could raise money to up date the citys aging water system and to extend water service to south of Interstate 10. The rst step, Bruce said, is to secure the services of a consulting rm. He recom mended the city publish a Request For Qualications and begin the process of searching for a consultant. The council agreed and voted to proceed with the preparation of an RFQ, and Thursday night, the council heard presentations from rms that had responded to the advertisement. During Bruces presen tation, he showed the coun cil a slide of the state legisla tures current budget, which includes a $400,000 line-item for the city of Chipley to use toward water system repairs. The budget item was there because Bruce had ar ranged for Council Member Lee Dell Kennedy and Miner to travel to Tallahassee and meet with the budget com mittee to discuss the citys water system problems. The budget has been passed by the House and the Senate and next will go to Gov. Rick Scott for nal approval. Cain said the governors ofce had contacted the city for more information about the request. We should know in a few weeks whether or not he signs off on it, the mayor said of the budget. Mayor Cain abstained from voting on any of the consulting rms because of a conict of interest. She said she had relatives that worked for one of the rms, and therefore she did not participate in the selection process. We see our role as pro viding a way to get funding for these important proj ects, Bruce said of his con sulting rm. Bruce discussed not only getting water service to south of Interstate 10, but also repairing and replac ing leaky pipes to make the citys water system more ef cient. He pointed out that in 2012, the city lost almost 30 percent of its water be cause of leaks. If you had a gas sta tion and you lost 30 percent of your gas, youd go out of business really quick, Bruce said. That term is support ed by the evidence, Maj. Tommy Ford said. They declined to give details about Scotts inju ries or the cause of death. Stanford said Scott did not give up his PINs and put up one heck of a ght, overcoming one assailant before being overpowered by the two males. Several rearms were taken from Scotts house, and some of them were recovered during the investigation. Investigators dont have any evidence Mercer knew of Scotts plans to remove her as a bene ciary, but she knew he was aware of the unauthorized credit card use, Stanford said. She has been ruled out as being one of the people in his home when he was killed, Stanford said. Dep uties continue to investi gate her connection to the homicide. She knew that Mr. Scott was not happy with the credit card use, Stan ford said. Mercer served prison time for a battery convic tion. In that incident, she stabbed her boyfriend with a scissors, Stanford said. Challender is Mer cers son, Jeffries is her nephew and Grifth is Jef fries girlfriend, Stanford said. Jeffries and Grifth are both 28, and Challen der is 27. They were identied as the primary suspects in Scotts slaying on Fri day and deputies began a manhunt to locate them. Challender and Jef fries are also suspected in several burglaries in Alabama and the Atlantaarea, and both had served time in prison, Stanford said. Challender had ap parently told people he would die before he let po lice arrest him, Stanford said. We had very credible information they were not going to surrender, Stan ford said. McKeithen and Ford concealed themselves in a vehicle driven by a coop erator in order to get close enough to arrest one sus pect. Other deputies hid in the trunk, Stanford said. One suspect was just out of reach from two guns after his arrest. Each sus pect was found in posses sion of Scotts property. Scott was a retired en gineer and a former Navy pilot who once survived a plane crash, according to family members. He owned several properties in Bay County, and his assets were worth abput $785,000 in 2010, according to court records. He was pretty well off, Stanford said. The investigation into potential suspects at the periphery of Scotts kill ing continues, but Sher iff McKeithen expressed condence that the pri mary suspects were all be hind bars. He praised his deputies as well as the nu merous law enforcement ofcers for their tireless effort and outstanding co operation when informa tion about the suspects locations was changing frequently. Bay County should be proud of their law enforce ment, McKeithen said. If something ever hap pened, God forbid, to my family, I would hope these guys were trying to catch the person that did it. 2092213 From Staff Reports CHIPLEY  A Pace man was charged with posses sion of meth and drug para phernalia after a trafc stop on April 27, according to a Chipley Police Department news release. James Louis Huie, 52, of Pace, was arrest ed in connection with charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Ofcers conduct ed a trafc stop of a Chevrolet Silverado following a trafc violation. During the traf c stop, ofcers no ticed Huies unusual body language and some discrepancies in his account of events leading up to the trafc stop, according to the release. Huie agreed to let ofcers search his pickup, and police found drug paraphernalia con cealed in the truck, according to police. Once the search was completed, Huie was noti ed of the discovery. After receiving his Miranda warn ing, Huie told police the par aphernalia was his and said he might have some meth amphetamine in his wallet, according to police. Ofcers searched Huies wallet and discovered an amount of methamphet amine in a small plastic bag. James Huie was taken to the Washington County Jail. Special to the News CHIPLEY  The Chipley Kiwanis Club was visited by Charity Newsom on Tuesday. Newsom will represent the state of Florida this summer in competition in Chicago as the states Miss Florida International. She is from Chipley and has gradu ated from Chipola College and re-enrolled to pursue another course of study. As Miss Florida Inter national, Newsom picked Literacy as the platform she will promote. Newsom feels that reading and com prehension are essential to leading a useful and pro ductive life. She informed the club that, in the United State, there are 21 million illiterate persons and anoth er 45 million who are moder ately illiterate. As part of her effort to promote literacy, Newsom has started a program she calls Project RED (Read Ev ery Day). The goal of Proj ect RED is to give a book to every rst grade student in Chipley and Vernon. Once she has accomplished that objective, she will expand the project to also include Marianna. The benets of read ing at an early age include much better performance in school and ultimately a more productive life. Reading is key to all other learning ac tivities. Newsom pointed out if a child reads just 15 min utes a day, he or she will be exposed to more than 1 mil lion words in a year.

Local Washington County News | A3 Saturday, May 4, 2013 gardens  insects, rodents, birds, frogs, lizards and other snakes. The right snake in the garden can be very benecial. He showed sev eral beautiful and colorful snakes including corn snakes, king snakes and an oak snake. Snakes are not naturally aggressive but will strike if they feel threatened. A good way to get rid of a snake is to remove its food by keeping lawns manicured, avoid piles of wood and junk, clear out the nooks and crannies and keep landscaping and gardens neat and weed-free. He suggested the noise and activ ity of gardening should encourage snakes to leave the area; however, if you see one, dont try to pick it up, just back away and it will probably move on. Sweeney provided several help ful handouts, and although there were a few eek moments when his little friends were out of their bags, the garden club enjoyed learning about one of the most un derstood and feared creatures in the world. Before the program, the last regular business meeting was held. A thank you letter for our contribu tion to SEEK (Save the Earths Environment through Knowledge) Camp was read and a contribution certicate for Pennies for Pines was acknowledged. Garden therapy with the cli ents at the convalescent center, National Garden Week (June 28), plans for the third annual 2013 Scarecrow Contest in October, the newly replanted downtown pots, the pressed wildower collection and the upcoming FFGC District II Spring Meeting in Port St. Joe were discussed. New 2013-14 Club Ofcers were installed and presented with the Magic Wand of Gardening FlyFlaps by Club President Karen Roland. The club also voted to con tribute $100 toward Chipley High School Bands 2014 National Me morial Day Parade Trip. The Chipley Garden Club ex tends many thanks the City of Chi pley Public Works Department for doing such a great job keeping the city looking nice and especially for painting the downtown pots.

Before moving here, I lived in a city where someone was aggressively trying to ban books from schools. Happily, that effort failed. I read whatever I wished while growing up and am deeply thankful that my parents didnt censor my reading material. In my youth, I turned to writers ranging from Julius Caesar to Jack Kerouac in an attempt to improve my own education. I realized early on that my education isnt the states responsibility but mine. That was made abundantly clear to me in third grade when I became part of a New England experimental educational program. I was required to select my own assignments and reading material, taking an active role in my education rather than blindly following a preset curriculum. Its among the best memories of my otherwise tedious early education. I recall only one book that was banned while I was in school: The Communist Manifesto. When I discovered it was banned from my school library, I went to the city library and promptly checked it out. Its human nature to be curious, and nothing provokes curiosity like censorship. If you want to drive up any authors book sales, just get the book banned. Sometimes censorship is driven by religion. I remember certain books, lms and practices being banned by local churches. Pastors got in an uproar about lms including Baby Doll, Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Last Temptation of Christ, Monty Pythons Life of Brian and more. Some churches wouldnt allow congregation members to view these movies. Once, after reminiscing about such bans, my husband and I had our own personal forbidden lm festival, watching many of these shows back to back. We werent offended by any of them. In fact, we just watched Godspell again a few days ago. There are people in this world with no self-control. They cant just walk away from something offensive, but want to enact legislation so nobody else can see it, either. If you dont want to see a movie, then dont buy the ticket, but you dont have the right to tell others that they cant view it. If same-sex marriage offends you, then dont enter into one. Never before has the motto Mind your own business seemed so appropriate and so needed. I recently heard about a professor who opened a lecture with a bold proclamation that a certain popular viewpoint is wrong. Audience members got up and stormed out without giving him a chance to explain himself. He did it to make a point, which is that nobody wins by leaving a discussion before it even gets started. He was demonstrating whats wrong with reconciling differences these days  people arent doing it. Dont join the ranks of the perpetually offended. If a book bothers you, dont buy it. If a TV show offends you, you know where the off button is. Your teenager wont die if he reads a Chuck Palahniuk novel. If you dont like a religion, political party or organization, dont join it. If something offends you to the point that you can no longer remain silent, then write an intelligent reply, expressing yourself like an articulate, rational adult. Regardless of our religious, political or aesthetic differences, its crucial to learn how to voice objections without resorting to censorship.
